Polls are like RATS, they never admit they are wrong.
Yes but they don’t do political polls anymore, just opinion stuff.
Trump has changed politics forever.
Both my hope and my suspicion is we’re into something similar to the Bradley Effect, where black LA mayor Tom Bradley ran for CA guv. He was heavily favored to when, but all pollster were shocked when he lost.
I’m betting folks just don’t want to publicly admit they’re not voting for HRC.
Their consistency is pretty amazing when when the Clintons were just Arkansas personalities the scandal consequences were Arkansas individuals taking the fall and going away.
but now the clintons are National figures the entities going away our national entities.
a Hillary loss will eventuate about 50% of the old Legacy Media going away and I figure and 50% of the old polling companies.
I guess it’s going to be like Hiroshima.
Polls are likely using 2008 or 2012 turnout numbers for this election. That cannot work. The enthusiasm for Hillary is simply not there.
Her events are embarrassing evidence you are right.
Scott Rasmussen was forced out after the 2012 election.
You could start with that overrated hack Nate Silver’s site - what is the little liberal going to do without Master Barack spoon-feeding him the internal polls?
Be wrong again, of course, just like he was about the GOP nominations. Gallup had the decency to stop polling after they screwed it four years ago, but I would be skeptical of any polling. Mitt Romney’s own polling was wrong and he thought he had won the election. And never forget the false exit polls from 2004, which punked Kerry.
Hey look the troll is back.

Problem (besides the timing)? 44% of those polled voted for Obama in 2012, while 40% went for Mittens. The real result was 57-41 Romney. Uneffin’believable.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Rasmussen
In July 2013, Rasmussen left his position as president of Rasmussen Reports.[31] In a press release from Rasmussen Reports, the company confirmed Rasmussen's departure and said, "In part, the move reflects disagreements over company business strategies.
Didn’t the polls have Matt Bevin down 5% in the Kentucky governor’s race, and he won by 9%?
Talk about a half-a$$ed poll.
